What's Pink and Orange and Goes Down Easy with the Black and White and Read All Overs?

On the occasion of the Nashville Scene twentieth anniversary party, our big swingin' marketing department (or someone equally ossum) landed us a cocktail custom-crafted for the occasion, The Cover Story.

It was the first party I've attended with its own signature drink, since I'm old school. (And I love the way that adding "school" to "old" makes me seem so much younger.)

Back in the day (by which I mean 20 years ago), you signaled your sophistication by drinking California wine, or better yet, Spanish or Italian wine, instead of Singapore Slings or keg beer. Signature cocktails are a trend I'm totally down with, except that I hate to end a sentence with a preposition.

There were even little recipe cards. Thanks, marketing and Big Mike.

Heartburn in a glass.

Thanks for posting this, Nicki. I just fished the little recipe card out from a pocket that I was wearing that night -- I hardly remember that? These Cover Story cocktails must really work!
